    Rob Dickers 10th MEDIUM REGT RA

    On the 30th June 1944, the 12th Medium Regt RA were concentrated at Tornours Camp, Chigwell, Essex, preparing to move to London Docks for embarkation to Normandy.
    They were heavily attacked by enemy aircraft on this day & suffered 37 casualties. They were subsequently withdrawn to Suffolk & later the regiment was broken up for replacements to units already in NWE.
    It seems strange that an enemy air attack of this nature got though to Essex at this time & does anyone have any info on this incident.

    Thanks
    Rob

    Nothing mentioned in ATB's Vol. 3 of the Blitz. It focus's on V Weapons in June and July 1944.
